Club Nintendo Rewards Updated for July

A sky-climbing star, a rank-climbing boxer, barrel rollers and a barrel thrower are all up as Club Nintendo rewards this month in North America, if you have the coins. The following titles will be available until 4th August:

A nice cross-section of systems is represented this month, with the Game Boy’s Donkey Kong and DSiWare’s Aura-Aura offered through the 3DS eShop and Super Punch-Out!! for the SNES and Star Fox 64 offered through the Wii Shop Channel.

The annual Platinum and Gold gifts for Club Nintendo Elite members will also be announced soon. Until then, are you thinking of passing the time by picking up any of this month’s game offerings?

Nothing for me this time

From the web

As a child, Tim once spent an entire month staring longingly at a copy of Kirby's Dream Land his parents had kept atop the refrigerator until he could play it on an upcoming road trip. That month would change his life forever.

already got dk last year on club nintendo, aura aura climber ill pay the 2 dollars for (even though its really good), super punch-out can die in a ditch, and i dont have enough for star fox, but im planning on getting it in an original n64 cartridge

I'm not sure why they repeat DK94 so frequently but oh well, it's a fantastic game and I hope more people play it. Nothing for me this month, as I own everything listed besides Aura (seems to be a trend in these comments) and it's only $2 if I do want it. They're not going to toss out all the best stuff for free every month anyways. They still put out some new gems too. I've been wanting to get F-Zero X for ages and I've been searching for a cartridge copy of it, as they run about the same price as the Wii VC version. Then all of a sudden it pops up as a June reward and I'm able to get it for free. No complaints from me.

I don't know... I'm thinking I should get Star Fox 64... But what if something comes up better next week...? Or what if I find Star Fox 64 3D...?? Forget it... A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush. STAR FOX 64!!!

@undead_terror: The rewards they have right now are a joke. I'm sitting on over 1,500 coins with nothing to get. I check daily for something new to be added. I have got some great items in the past though. I wish they would make a Game & Watch Collection 3 for the 3DS. I have the first 2 DS games they offered. The Tingle Balloon Fight game would be cool if they localized it.

I would have to say Super Punch-Out, only because I have Star Fox 64 3D and I see no point to getting the original VC game

@Azikira nope, but the images on the front page aren't showing, about it.

@KnightRider666 yay, the game offers are great usually, but those rewards are very pathetic. I want the Hanafuda cards, but than they where gone, and I was saving up for the Game & Watch Ball game, when I had enough, it was gone. sigh

Got Star Fox 64, which I honestly haven't seen as a reward before but for all the comments I may have missed it.

Have to say I forgot games were like this in 1997. Game Over screens. Only 2 lives. No save points. 3 initials for your score keeping the 80's memories alive. Back then I was playing all the JRPGs I could get a hold of on my PSOne and the biggest complaint was having to find a check point. This game just seems like it was made for the arcade to eat up quarters, not for a home console.

It's fun, but it's weird. (Though I did just finish Jak and Daxter a few nights ago, play that before/after this if you don't know what I'm talking about. Though Super Mario Sunshine may be close enough. That was my first ever Nintendo game. That or Starfox Adventures (which I know has nothing to do with this), or Luigi's Mansion, one of those 3.)

@hydeks: I have both items. The ball G&W was a big waste of coins, but then again; if you have a lot of coins like me, it's better than getting nothing. The Hanafuda cards looked cool, I haven't opened them(and I probably won't). I even got the golden Wii nunchuck, but strictly for collector's purposes. my favorite rewards were both G&W collections for the DS for 800 coins each.

there's not nearly as much variety on the 3ds side as there is for the wii side. for a vc that can support not only game gear but nes and game boy advance, you'd think that the rewards would be more varied than metriod 2 and donkey kong like seriously those games have been up too many times this year

I want ANYTHING INTERESTING on the European Clun Nintendo... I finally have a lot o stars, but the only things worth them disappear and don't get replaced... I want collectibles, that actually add to my collection; or games...

I would be much more likely to go in for one of these digital downloads if they were on the Wii U. I play quite a bit on the gamepad while my wife and I watch the tube and I would love to play StarFox 64, but if I can only play it on the television, I won't bother.

Does anyone else write down the codes/camera phone them at Gamestop? For used games, especially those 4-5 years old, I figure the original buyer and the next 6 purchasers had their chance already. I already own all the Marios and Laytons and Kirbys, but Monster High, Dance Fever 7 or whatever its called, never interested me. But when the game is 5 years old and no one ever registered it... well then. In 7 years or so of doing this, I've actually only come across one already-registered game. I think I had 5,000 coins for a bit there...

@KnightRider666 Me and you are in the same boat. I have 1200 coins and nothing really to spend them on. I would definately like some of the DSi software to be added or even some WiiWare. They should start running some clearance sales on WiiWare. I wonder how long they will keep the Wii-shop open since they are starting to close down online services for Wii

@KnightRider666 I still play my wii quite a bit. Ive actually been playing some racing games. I went through Need For Speed the Run and Started Auto Modellista for gamecube on Wii. But 90% of my games played are on 3ds

@Ralizah
This is only the second time to my knowledge, and it's actually a very good game, (in fact, my favorite B&W Gameboy game) and much better/longer then the original DK. It's funny how people don't realize the Gameboy Donkey Kong is a completely different game from the original NES/arcade DK.

I'm a li'l sad to see not so much love for Super Punch-Out. (Which I already have on Wii.) I actually thought it was better, and had more possible ways to beat your opponents in it then the more beloved NES one. Time trial mode was fun to. (And unlike the NES one, I can actually beat the SNES one.)

Since the Hanafuda Cards, Game&Watch Ball, Game&Watch Collections 1 and 2, the Gold Nunchuk, some poster sets and notebooks, and the Mario shoelaces are all unavailable, the Rewards section seems a bit too empty.
